Hello Guys and Gals,

Well I've done almost everything possible to remove my steering wheel but
it still will not come off (yes, I have loosened the nut). Here's what
I've done:

                1. Beat the back of it at the 9 and 3 position  with
                   my hands.
                B. Beat it at the same points with a mallet (which broke)
                   and hammers
               IV. Soaked it in penetrating oil (WD-40) overnight, then
                   beat it some more.
                e. Poured boiling water over it
                5. Used a puller, still to no avail
                6. Gave it a thourough cussin'

I am about to give up! I will take it to a shop and see what parts of my
interior they can break while attempting to remove the wheel and then I
will take the steering column out and replace it all. Before taking this
drastic step, Is there anything I have missed or could try?
